Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2950110A1] An apparatus, method and integrated circuit for broad-range current measurement using duty cycling are disclosed. Embodiments of an apparatus for sensing current through a transistor device may include an interface configured to receive a current from the transistor device for sensing. Additionally, embodiments may include a sensor component coupled to the interface and configured to receive the current from the transistor device and to generate a responsive sensor voltage. Embodiments may also include a sense control circuit configured to control a duty cycle of the sensor component.
